d2mini's "Essential Focus" Mixed Reef Build

[d2mini]

I've been in the market for a new camera.. I'll have to look into that one.. what are you opinions of it?

Fuji is killing it.
That 80mm macro is the best I've ever used. Some other killer glass in their lineup, too. And their cameras are pretty amazing.
I don't even use my full frame nikon anymore unless I really need the extra resolution or a specific lens.
The X-E3 (and X-Pro2) are their rangefinder styled cameras. The XT-2 and just released X-T3 and the X-H1 are their top end dslr style cameras. And tons to choose from below that.

No ma'am. I use one of those lens tubes that R2R gives away when you win photo of the month. :)

what? I have never heard of this tube thingy you speak of. How cool! My boys might put our underwater camera in the aquarium to take some videos later this year. I said "well...It worked in the ocean".

Here's another one (sold out), the quality difference between using a porthole vs shooting thru the glass is amazing. There is a comfortable level holding your camera, but if you drop your camera (whether over land or water), they often react very poorly

I think the reboot of the tank turned out a lot better than the first time around. The only change I would like to see is with your watermark. I miss the labels of whats in the image.
